Philippines - Baroque Churches of the Philippines (Extension)

"1) Church complex of Patrocinio de Maria, Boljo-on (Cebu) The church structure and complex still boast of its original features; the roof, walling, ceiling, ornamentation, and setting. Repairs that were done in the recent years, but these repairs did not affect the integrity of the church and setting. The design of the structure, use of materials is in conformity with the setting and location. To date it is still used as a church and convent. 

2) Church of La Inmaculada Concepcion, Guiuan (Samar) The church of Guiuan has undergone further improvements in the 1930's when the present ceiling of the church was painted and the flooring was done. There are repairs every now and then, but the main context of the structure remained. The seashell ornamentation and the church artifacts are intact. The fortress is still in the periphery. Based on an early 20th century picture, the church maintained its integrity. Reflective of the Jesuit and Franciscan sensibilities. 

3) Church complex of San Pedro Apostol, Loboc (Bohol) The church complex of Loboc maintained most of its original features. Based on an early 20th century photograph, the church appeared the same. There appeared that no major works was done in the church except for the replacement of the roof. Generally, the features are intact, and most of the additions / repairs are reversible. With sensibilities of the Jesuit and Augustinian Recollects. 

4) Church complex of San Isidro Labrador, Lazi (Siquijor) The setting of the church complex remained the same as to when it was built in the 19th century. There are slight modifications made in the convent, but the traces are still there. 5) Church complex of San Mattias, Tumauini (Isabela) Though damaged in the Second World War, the church retained / preserved most of the undamaged walls. The damaged part of the church was repaired."
